. What gave you the clue that V was being recorded? I need to watch the episode again.
Absolutely!
When Ram brought her to the office through Adi, it was clear that he purely MEANT business. Otherwise, he would have gone to her home and talked. This is Ram we are talking about.
In the first episode, where he agreed to get Shivi-Sid married, he talked to V in a secluded area. Today it was in the office, and he has recorded the entire conversation.
Another Loop Closed; in the first episode, Shashi recorded without Ram knowing about it, and today Ram-Adi recorded without Viper knowing about it.
I agree with Ritika that they have a team member who is very good at Psychology, and the writers are very good at literary devices. Otherwise, I would have NEVER returned to discuss a TV series after ten years. I still cannot believe I am watching an EK show.
